I can’t say enough great things about Community Animal Hospital. I have two dogs and had struggled finding a vet that I can trust.Dr. Lee takes care of my younger dog and he LOVES her. The animal is the patient and you need to make them feel comfortable with you. That’s what Dr. Lee does with my puppy and he hates going to the vet but melts in her hands when he sees her.Dr. Adelsohn is truly phenomenal. My pup recently had surgery and a complication arose. Dr. Adelsohn took such good care of him. Actually all of the staff were so worried and checked in on him. He had a VIP experience and I am so beyond grateful. Dr. Adelsohn personally called and gave me updates on his condition. We went back today and he is looking good! I am so relieved. Again I can’t say enough amazing things about all of the staff from the vet techs who stayed by his side to the office staff.Shout outs:Julian thank you for always making me feel my calls are the number one priority.Bonnie thank you for all your help and kindness every time we visit.Dianne thank you for you help at reception and helping with my pup last week.Peggy thank you for all your help during last week’s intense few days and checking in on us today.Thank you to Dr. Lorig and Dr. Van Burin for all your help with the little guy. (Sorry Dr. V I probably spelt you name wrong)

I’ve had pets much of my life and this is by far the best vet I’ve experienced. Dr. Bank and PJ were amazing. So informative and caring and they just immediately iinspire confidence and really help make me a confident dog owner. The entire staff is warm and helpful. Not a single eye roll to be found anywhere. The pricing is an improvement over my past experiences. I just love this place.

I have to write this review in just how amazing community animal hospital has been to me about my cat. I had used them with my previous cat who I had for years and was blissfully unaware of things cats can get. Fast forward to last June we adopted the sweetest lil gem of a kitten. I was told she was clear.of any issues but unfortunately she had a false negative for parasites and ultimately she had roundworms as most kittens do. I have never dealt with this before and have a phobia of worms. So she was dewormed and was good but it freaked me out and for for the last 10 months I have annoyed the vet with poop samples and OCD paranoia. They have been so gracious and understanding. They always talk to me with questions no matter how silly and I'm incredibly grateful. Thank you community animal hospital for helping me and my cat Luna. I'm sure I'll have more ridiculous things to ask you but I know we're in great hands!

I can’t say enough amazing things about this practice. I have brought my fur babies here for many years. We have seen all of the doctors and they are all wonderful.

I have to say this is one of the best places I've ever brought my pets. They seem to be getting better. Back in 2014 I tried a different vet because I felt it was getting so expensive but that other place had very similar prices and was not there for me when I needed them so I came back shortly after. There have been several times when I needed a quick appointment if my dog was having issues and they have been able to give it to me and I thoroughly appreciate that. Today was one of those days and they saw my dog and I'm very pleased with the plan of action that they offered. To me they seem to find just the right course without going overboard but making sure that we take the right steps and they always offer me options. I have seen at least four different doctors there over the years and every single one of them has been really great with my dog. My dog is now 16 and is a bundle of nerves but both the doctors and the techs are always so good with her ❤️

We saw Dr. Cohen, for my 3 yr old cat Mila she was very kind, and friendly. She did a very thorough exam, explained her findings, and did not push for anything more then what she thought was appropriate to treat Mila. She took the time to explain Mila's course of treatment and answered any questions we had (not that she left room for any questions- she explained everything in detail!). Her assistants were so kind and gentle with Mila making her experience as quick & painless as possible. We were very pleased with our visit and would highly recommend Dr. Cohen for all your pet's medical needs :) Thank you!!

Dr Banks and the entire community animalStaff were absolutely wonderful in treating my puppy. They were so caring and kind- I knew my dog was in good hands to get him back to good health. I cannot thank them enough for all they did. They really do love their animals they treat and will do anything to help them and you bring home a healthy animal. Absolutely the best vet in Morris County!

We moved into the area only a couple of years ago when we got our pup. We didn't know where to go for a good vet and a friend recommended one to me. However, it wasn't until after we had our first appointment that we realized we went to the wrong one. We ended up going to Community Animal Hospital and never once afterwards considered going to my friend's recommended vet. We were so thrilled with how kind and gentle they were with our pup. He can be a bit eccentric and nervous but he is always welcome. We found a great vet with Dr. Cohen and don't want to go to anyone else. She has been so great to us and always takes the time to thoroughly check Peyton to make sure he is in top shape. Absolutely, love Community Animal Hospital

I took my cats in to see Dr. Bank and she was so thorough and kind throughout the entire appointment. Glad to have Community Animal Hospital to help keep my animals healthy.

We've been going to community for over 11 years but recently had to bring our dog in on a Sunday during emergency hours. The vet on call was Dr. Cohen and it was the first time we'd ever met with her. She is WONDERFUL, one of the most compassionate and professional people I've ever met. Not only did she take the time to talk to us that day, she called us a few days later to check in. I am grateful for her care, concern and overall interest in the health of my animal and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a vet. She makes the experience as enjoyable as it can be under the circumstances. Thank you Dr. Cohen.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Community Animal Hospital. I had a regular yearly vaccine appointment that spiraled into my cat needing to get rushed to an animal hospital for a previously unknown issue. I want to thank Dr. Lee, Dr. Bank & the entire staff at CAH who made this extremely difficult time easier for me. Dr. Lee & Dr. Bank both called me to check on how we were doing and got us transferred to one of the best veterinary cardiologists in the state. My cat is back home with me and on medications that will help manage his condition. I can't recommend community animal hospital enough for helping to save my best friend.

I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff at Community Animal Hospital. We have been going to see Dr Lorig since 2011 with our two dogs. One of our dogs has had more medical issues than the other. The entire staff is extremely helpful and professional and kind. All of the vets and vet techs we have seen have been wonderful. I especially need to say how much I appreciate Dr Lorig, who we normally see. She takes the time to explain things clearly and has answers for all of my questions. I am so grateful to her and the entire staff. Every person I speak to on the phone is super helpful. I highly recommend Community Animal Hospital.

Dr. Cohen diagnosed our dog an aggressive form of cancer. We had no idea since our previous Vet said it could have just been an infection and did not have time to do the necessary x-rays and test after visiting them for 3 months. I was recommended by a friend to visit Community Animal Hospital when our dog was not getting better. Dr. Cohen was a god send she was so very caring and presented us with all of our options. Our dog passed away but Community Animal Hospital was very helpful and caring with our dog. If we get another pet this would be the only place I would take them

What a great experience . I took my Lab for a check up as a new patient today . The staff was so friendly and professional . We saw Dr. Saunders and she was awesome! She spent a good amount of time with us and was very thorough . If your looking for a wonderful vet in the area , no need to look any further .

I am a British veterinarian, but I am not eligible to practice in the US and indeed no longer do clinical work. I take both my adult Golden Retriever and my new Border Collie puppy to this practice and am very happy with the service we receive. In addition to routine health checks, vaccinations and treatment of minor conditions such as ear infections, my older dog has received surgical treatment of a mast cell tumor which was successful. Obviously things are different in these covid times, and not being able to accompany my dogs into their appointments feels strange, but care is still well managed and communication is clear and never condescending. I would happily recommend Community Animal Hospital to anyone.

We are new to the area and ran into an emergency situation with our cat suddenly not feeling well and vomiting all day. We definitely didn't expect to need a vet so soon and I was overwhelmed with having to choose one and trust them with our cat. Dr Cohen and Lorig were super pleasant and thorough in their explanation of things. Conservative in their approach to treatment but upfront about what would be helpful given my cat's situation. He recovered within a few days and I was happy with the service we received. They saw us nearly immediately and even though I waited like two hours in the parking lot it didn't matter to me. Only concern is the expense; was a bit pricier than I'm used to. I've never paid for a recheck visit, especially if I'm paying for some kind of services again on that day. But this place charges a considerable recheck visit fee. Overall would use this vet again.

I've been taking my westie to Community Animal Hospital for over 10 years. The office staff and vets are amazing, especially Drs. Lorig and Cohen. You can feel how much they truly care about the animals they treat. As he's gotten older, my pup has had a few persistent infections and they have worked with me to get him back to feeling better, spend time with him and listen to my concerns. Even when they are super busy and packed with appointments, the front office staff will take the time to call you back and do whatever they can to help.

I have been taking my dog Cadie for many years to this facility. The vets are very knowledgeable and empathetic. The entire staff is extremely professional and nice. I have only the best compliments to them all. They respect and care for the pets and their owners. Thank you so much for this incredible group of people.

We are so thankful for Community Animal Hospital! We had an evening emergency with our two pups- one of them decided to gorge themselves on a large quantity of *unmentionables* from our trash and we had no idea which pup it was. Understanding our dire emergency this incredible team stayed open to see us, as the nearest emergency hospital would have been almost an hour away from us. They saved our girls’ lives!Thank you to Dr. Cohen and team- we cannot express our gratitude enough!! You are all superheroes!

Great experience here! Our bunny came down with stasis and her usual vet was not working so we were referred here. We were able to be seen only a couple hours after we called. Dr. Lorig treated our bunny for stasis and explained everything to us clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had a plan for when we got home. Our vet tech PJ was excellent as well. PJ helped me figure out the best way to syringe feed our bunny meds (which took a ton of patience as our bunny hates being handled), and even called the next morning to check in on our bunny. You can really tell all the folks working here care about the well being of your pet.

I didn't see any reviews for this vet and leopard geckos so I'm gonna add my experience hereDr Adelson saw my sweet leopard gecko last week. She seems very knowledgeable and very experienced. My gecko didn't have too many issues but after speaking to Dr adelson I feel confident that if there ever are any issues like clogged vent, tail rot, or mouth rot, that dr adelson will be able to help her. She is very sweet. So is the rest of the staff. This will be my vet for life most likely.

We have been going to Community Animal Hospital for over 15 years with our two pitbulls Georgia and Samson. The entire vet staff is wonderful especially Dr. Lorig and Dr. Cohen. They treat every animal as if it was their own, and are truly passionate about the care they provide. From the front desk staff to the vet techs, this is truly an amazing facility and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good quality vet.

I absolutely love this place! I took my GSD here as a second opinion, from the hospital my primary vet recommended, and I was not let down. First and foremost, my dog did NOT growl at the doc like she did with the first vet. I trust my dog's instincts, and they were right. The first place put a muzzle on my dog, and I was not going to allow that to happen after she never had a problem with any vet previously. She warmed right up to everyone here at Community Animal Hospital!I voiced my opinion on how the 1st opinion looked at her x-ray and basically said they would have to "go in and see how bad the damage is," before they could decide if repair surgery was needed. Here, they did a full check-up to see if she was in pain, and if there was something wrong with her range of motion. The whole nine yards! The doc told me that she WOULD need surgery and they gave me a rough estimate for her ACL BEFORE I agreed to have her surgery there. Her surgery went well, and the doc went over her after care and physical therapy with me before bringing her home - he made sure I understood everything and kept asking me if I had any questions about the therapies she'd have to endure.Months later, I am very pleased. My girl is back her old self. <3I would definitely recommend them for any surgical care for your pets (as well as primary care if you live nearby). If I lived closer, they would definitely be my primary care for my pets.

I have been bringing my dogs to this hospital since we moved to the area 6 years ago. I have never met such caring, professional, and excellent veterinary staff before. This is an absolutely marvelous practice and I have frequently recommended it to others.As well as being treated here, my dogs often board here too and have for as much as 3 weeks at a time. They are ancient doggies (15 and 17) so it is great to know that they are being boarded where they will be cared for if there is a problem. Whenever they arrive at the practice (whether for boarding or shots), their tails are wagging. That says a great deal as my female was terrified at her former vet’s.They were boarded there on Monday night. On Tuesday I got a phone call. When they were being visited and petted by a staff member a lump under the chin was noticed. Did I want to have it checked? Yes, I did. I’m currently awaiting results.Whenever they’ve arrived for boarding they’ve been petted and treated to a real welcome. It’s obvious that they’re also visited and petted while they’re there. That speaks volumes about the clinic and it’s staff.

If I could rate this place 100 stars, I would. This is not a fake review at all. A few days ago my yorkie had a problem walking. She woke up one day limping. The following day she couldn't bear any weight on her front legs. So I searched around for a few vets. The original vet I chose, gave me a appointment but it was in two days. Just by looking at my Lucy, I knew I couldn't wait. So I researched more and I found this hospital. They were extremely accommodating with the appointment. I called at 12 pm and they gave me a appointment for 6 Pm! I went in all nervous that this visit was going to cost me a arm and a leg. Right away, the nurses were extremely friendly. When I saw the doctor, he was extremely nice and helpful. He found out that Lucy has Lyme disease. He gave us medications, he even walked us out to the car. Now, two days later Lucy is walking normal, pretty much back to her old self. The bill was extremely reasonable and I will never go to another vet again besides this hospital. I strongly would recommend them to anyone in need of animal care.

I take our dogs to Dr. Lorig and I know that she cares about them just as much as I do. Staff is kind, facility is clean and it's an easy drive (close to 287 and right off route 10). With the onset of Covid they now have clearly marked parking spaces and you call when you arrive and give them your parking space number. Everyone is masked, they come to the car and get your pet and the vet calls you to go over concerns beforehand and afterwards with a report.

I bring my chinchilla with dental problems to Dr. Adelsohn and she's amazing. She handles small animals with care and kindness, and the vet techs are also great handling the animals. Dr. A does a top quality job at trimming the teeth under anesthesia, with great results. And she always explains in detail how the teeth looked/what she had to trim, which I appreciate. She knows about pain medications and medications in general for my chinchilla. She makes sure to schedule him right away after seeing he needs a trimming, despite adding to her heavy workload. She's knowledgable and kind. I really appreciate all her expertise and kindness when dealing with the stressful and heartbreaking problem of my chinchilla's dental issues/malocclusion. I don't know what I would do without her. I highly recommend her for chinchilla teeth issues and chinchilla care in general. I went to a vet in Parsippany first, but didn't get a good feeling he knew enough to do teeth trimmings well, and he didn't handle my pet nicely, so I looked elsewhere and found Dr. A. Without question Dr. Adelsohn is the vet to see for chinchillas in this area. Putting a chinchilla under anesthesia is stressful, but she has experience with this and I trust her after having had several trimmings. My pet was very sick when he first went to her (since I didn't know the signs of malocclusion) but she brought him back to good health with teeth trimmings and pain medications to manage the pain, as well as giving tips for hand feedings with critical care since it's not always easy with a sick pet. The x-rays are expensive, but necessary when dealing with accessing dental issues, and we're lucky to have someone in this area that does it because it's procedure with any good dental care. She's just so nice to my pet and polite to me. I also like that the waiting room there is in two separate parts so that I can keep my pet away from the dogs.
